[i've got my first aid skills and a whole body full of shit i can give up to save you don't tempt me]

We're not offering up any life. Remember? I didn't agree to it.

We have to pick one of us.

Not really! We'd have to both agree and if we don't then both of us will die!

[wait what. what are you doing.]

You said you didn't want to die!

No shit. Do you want to die?

Not "I'll do it so someone else doesn't have to." Do you want to die?

Of course I don't want to, but I'm not scared of it- And you are! You have a way to save yourself so why aren't you taking it?

[. . . i'm just gonna look at you like you're stupid and maybe you'll figure it out on your own]

[No because any conclusions I come to don't make any sense you don't like me]

The colour of my jacket isn't worth that much, you're only putting yourself in danger for nothing.

. . . . oh my gods how dumb are you.

Me!?

Does nothing go through that head of yours? I said, I'm not leaving here without you alive!

You don't even like me!

What the fuck are you talking about!?

My own father didn't care this much about keeping me alive, so why would you!

Do I look like your fucking father!?

It doesn't make sense!

YOU DON'T MAKE SENSE!!

You're the one- People don't do this! They climb over each other and trample other's dreams to make theirs reality, you can survive by putting me in the firing line and I've always been in the firing line I've always been prepared to die unlike you but you're- You're not... You're so willing to throw all the others out there under your feet to survive but for someone you don't even like, for someone who's already offered theirs up, you're risking your life...

Why wouldn't I, dumbass!? [crumpling up her jacket into a ball and chucking it at her ] And I never said I hated you! Gods! What's so fucking hard to understand—if I hated you, I wouldn't be trying to keep you alive!

[But you did tell me you didn't like me and rejected me a lot and now you're just. You. Catches the jacket, clutching it to her chest and struck completely mute. What do I say here.]

[i don't care so much as you don't start crying]

[rolling his eyes and going back to ~planning~ 8I]

[I'M NOT GOING TO CRY YOU JERK ignore that I have panic attacks upon finding out that people like me in canon I'm fine!!!

Listening to you plan with her and wow you really suck at that she's not helpful at all. Ugh this ruins everything because I can't just let you die if you're not going to agree I don't want to play this game I don't want to play this game I'd rather just die but you're not allowed to!!

...I know what I can offer up that would be worth our lives 8(]

[i'm pretty sure we don't actually know what panic attacks are where i'm from so you carry on..being a wimp..or something??]

[silent for a while, before:]

I'm going to make the deal.

[YOU ARE A JERK THORFINN]

What are you going to offer?

[with clenched fists]

Strength. My strength.

[if i ever told you about my home culture this would be largely significant]
